The Indiana Supreme Court wants to ensure that an attorney sentenced in connection with the misappropriation of funds from six estates totaling more than $700,000 won't practice law again.

The court published an order Friday to keep Stephen Schuyler from working as a lawyer, the Herald Bulletin reported. The court had earlier indefinitely suspended the Anderson attorney's law license because he didn't cooperate in the investigation of complaints against him.

Authorities say a check he wrote to East Lynn Christian Church, an estate beneficiary, in 2015 for more than $78,000 bounced. Later that year, Schuyler was removed from more than 130 cases in which he had a fiduciary interest in estates and guardianships.

In November, a Madison Circuit Court judge ordered Schuyler to pay more than $30,000 in legal fees as part of a suit that allowed First Merchants Bank to foreclose on a $475,000 Madison County home and $285,000 Kosciusko County property previously owned by Schuyler.
